Authortube Tag | Voices Of YA

Hello everyone, Trynda here.

The tag I’m bringing you today is the Voices of YA initially started by Caitlin Lampard and I was tagged by the author, Natalia Lee, and I will link their channels down below in the description. So, let’s get in into the questions.

1. What draws you to YA?

What originally drew me to YA was the characters that came from seemingly normal lives getting pulled into these paranormal undergrounds that were woven through human society.

2. Describe your writing process. Do you like outlines and structure or you seeing where the story takes you?

Before I start writing, I tend to like to make an outline start in some character sheets and certain sheets just so I can get down some notes while I’m inspired and I have an idea of what I want for those characters. After i have my outline and my character sheets, I tend to write long hand and just see where the story takes me after that. So, I do a little bit of both.

3. How long have you been writing and where are you in your journey?

I’ve been writing since grade school and I’m at a point in my writing career where I’m writing my first full length novel and I’ve had a few short stories published not only by myself but also in a local journal called Voices put out by the late Winterpeg writers group.

4. What do you need to write. Coffee? Music? Etc.

I usually like to have coffee and something playing in the background whether it’s videos about DnD or video games or just music in general, I like to have something just to break the silence.

5. If you’re could offer one piece of advice to another writer other than don’t give up, what will it be?

I’ll say keep going and just put it pen to page, you can always go back and fix whatever you don’t like later.

6. What book still has you reeling from plot twist, No spoilers.

Revelations, book three of the blue blood series still has me reeling from some of the plot twist in it and I still remember it years after reading it. I was like wow

7. What books are you most anticipating for this year?

I’m not anticipating anything really just because i tend to read things a lot on the fly depending on what I’m researching or what I feel like reading at the moment.

8. In your opinion, which YA book/ series has the most unique premise?

I really think blue bloods was unique because they tied the fallen angel myth in with the vampire myth and I thought it was an interesting take on the two myths.

What is your all-time favorite quote from YA lit?

May the odds be ever in your favour. Hunger games.

9. What book do you most hope will have a movie adaptation?

I’ll like to see the book or the series Vampire Plagues made into a movie because I thought there was a neat idea where two Victorian kids were trying to stop the mind focused vampires..,
